The Foreign Press Association in Israel is a registered non-profit organization representing some 480 journalists who are employed by international news organizations and report from Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Our membership includes international journalists based in the region, including Israelis and Palestinians working for foreign media outlets.

The FPA thanks AP, Reuters, AFP, EPA, Luke Baker, David Rubinger and David Silverman/Getty Images for the use of photos.

Stifling critics and shutting down stations are actions associated with dictatorships, not a democracy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loves to boast that Israel is the Middle East’s only democracy. We urge the government to uphold the ideals that he so proudly embraces.
